| # Causals Graph |
|
|
| A versioned, news-derived graph snapshot from **Causals Lab**. Version |
| `v0.1.0-2026-10-09` contains 369,184 nodes and 1,272,418 directed edges. |
| The graph contains descriptive and contextual relationships as well as |
| extracted causal *claims*. It is **not** a collection of independently |
| verified causal effects; a graph path is not automatically a causal path. |
|
|
| This Hugging Face copy mirrors the [canonical GitHub release](https://github.com/causals-lab/community/tree/graph-v0.1.0-2026-10-09/data/v0.1.0-2026-10-09). |
| The [Causals Lab download page](https://causals.org/download/) gives an |
| overview. Use the snapshot version and SHA-256 hashes in `manifest.json` to |
| identify the exact data. The two Viewer configurations, `nodes` and `edges`, |
| are tables from the same graph snapshot; join an edge's `source_id` and |
| `target_id` to node `id`. |

| ## Get started in 10 minutes |
|
|
| Try the [runnable notebook](https://github.com/causals-lab/community/blob/main/quickstart/quickstart.ipynb) or [open it in Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/causals-lab/community/blob/main/quickstart/quickstart.ipynb). It uses a [small downloadable sample](https://github.com/causals-lab/community/tree/main/quickstart/sample) of 62 nodes and 9 edges selected from this exact release. It checks file hashes, joins edges to nodes, and inspects source-news IDs without requiring private code, a database, or an API key. The selected sample is not representative and does not establish causal effects. |

| ## Files |
|
|
| The folder `v0.1.0-2026-10-09/` contains: |
|
|
| - `nodes.jsonl.gz` — 369,184 UTF-8 JSONL records, gzip-compressed. |
| - `edges.jsonl.gz` — 1,272,418 UTF-8 JSONL records, gzip-compressed. |
| - `manifest.json` — counts, relation distribution, file sizes and SHA-256 hashes. |
| - `DATA_CARD.md` — schema, provenance, limitations and quality cautions. |
| - `LICENSE_DATA.md` — dataset reuse terms. |
|
|
| Read [the complete data card](./v0.1.0-2026-10-09/DATA_CARD.md) before |
| interpreting relations or publishing analysis. In particular, `MENTIONS` is |
| not causal; `OTHER` is unclassified; and `TRIGGERED` or `STATED_CAUSE` are |
| extracted or attributed claims, not independent intervention evidence. |
| The snapshot has no representative whole-graph causal-validity estimate. |
